Journalist geek in full swing. I got a new pen today that pretty much rules. Just to prove how big of a geek i am, I photographed it. I did so using two strobes, three pocket wizards and some light modifiers. Yes I am a lighting geek as well...

Only in Saskatoon can I photograph someone shoveling in the morning and then photograph someone kayaking in shorts and a t-shirt in the afternoon. There was a 15' C temp fluctuation in 5 hours.

All in all it was a good day. Warm enough that I was able to walk around in a light sweater while finding spec shots. Tomorrow is looking even better...
